I can't make my mind up if I agree with this or not. My dad has always told us, 'I don't have artificial flowers in the house while I'm alive so don't give them me when I'm gone.'
I do agree with the committees comments at the bottom of the article though. While people cope differently with losing a loved one, some graves do look busy. I suppose it's difficult to single those out particularly where such emotion is involved.
